Cover Story: Detecting disease clusters using spatial data analysis is crucial for public health. While the circular scan method is commonly used for this purpose, it faces challenges when identifying clusters with non-circular shapes, which can result in reduced detection accuracy. To tackle this issue, several extensions have emerged to improve the identification of clusters with arbitrary shapes. The flexible–elliptical scan method combines the strengths of two well-known techniques: the flexible and elliptic scan methods, each specifically designed for detecting irregularly shaped clusters. By inheriting the advantages of the flexible and elliptic methods, the flexible–elliptical scan method represents a practical addition to the existing repertoire of spatial data analysis techniques. View this paper
